Yes.

Explain why you believe this because I don't see it in society.

This thread has nothing to do with your justifications for why you and your friends do not like black people and their loud music, or why Hitler was "ok". Go spread your racist views elsewhere.

I'm racist because I don't reward bad behavior?

Nope.  I see people who look angry.  Are black people allowed to be angry at injustice, or are you suggesting they should blithely accept whatever mistreatment comes their way?

Right....so when people of color are "loudmouths" and step out of line, it's OK to gun them down.  That must be the Nazi sympathizer in you talking,  

Stats please?

I guess that platitude is intended to justify fascism?  Fascism is an obsolete ideology, like Communism.  The world is moving on.

You're twisting everything without seeing the bigger picture of why a few or maybe a good portion of black people turn off a lot of other people. It's not just white people who are extremely annoyed by the rap/hip pop garbage personas. Loud music, loud voices, insults to innocent people, drugs, gun shootings and the list goes on. You get what you give.

Injustice? Verbal abuse on a consistent basis is a lot worse than physical abuse. Black people are much less likely to be taken seriously because of the rude behavior/rap persona of a few. I feel sorry for a good portion of young blacks who get brainwashed by the rap/hip hop music and then go on towards causing psychological issues towards society.

A few bad apples spoils the bunch.

Hopefully understanding how we feel will help you see that a lot of people have an aversion towards those who stress them out.

"Self evident" to you, because you're prejudiced, perhaps?

Really?  I thought their mentality was "please stop killing us for no reason".  That's not "us vs. them".  They want police brutality to stop. 

Do you see the hate and victim mentality?

No prejudice. Simply an aversion to obnoxious loudmouths regardless of skin color who expect their bad behavior rewarded. This includes my younger white brother who I can tell to shut up without being accused of being racist.

Police brutality will stop when people stop being loudmouths and breaking the law. Like I said... people want their bad behavior rewarded.

Malton, Ontario, Canada. This is a place where police is required to keep the peace. They tried removing the police station after renovating the whole place with new stores and streets but crime rate including killings went up.

This comment reveals your true mentality.  Nothing else needs to be said.

Without great power comes great irresponsibility.

Candace is creating a straw man. 

"I am not going to accept the narrative that this (George Floyd) is the best that the black community has to offer."

I have seen no one make that claim. Mourning him as a martyr is not the same as claiming he lived a great life. 

Given her background I am not surprised though. She is a racist's dream. A young, educated black woman who dislikes BLM and likes Hitler.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Turning Point USA, widely considered to be a racist organization, for whom Candace worked as their communications director.

Did you watch the whole video?

He wasn't a martyr period. You're derailing the point of the video.

She's neutral and not picking sides. You're pulling an ad hominem on her.

I dislike BLM also because it's self-evident that it's a hate group. I've lived in a multicultural community as a minority white male while receiving an unfair amount of insulting remarks from racist black people while minding my own business and at other times witnessed humble black people feeling frustrated with the rude and loud attitudes of other black people. BLM is a hate group because racism is driven by us verses them mentality.

Hitler wanted good for people. It's just that his actions were incorrect towards taking out the trash(religion). Was he a good leader? No. Was he a bad leader? Who cares. He was ok. Nothing remarkable or revolutionary.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but it's truly an eye opener regarding the matter.

That is more a definition than an (empirical) fact. Whereby consistently the free will deniers cannot have any idea about which persons are more autonomous than others. In the end, everything is determined...

Are you sure someone can be more or less autonomous than others? Rather than simply be autonomous or not?

Determined by what? Aura? Destiny? The universe?

They will say that you are conditioned through and through. By your biology, culture, upbringing, biography... As good humoured zombies we stumble through life. We are just (nothing but) machines. One could wonder why 'black machines matter'...

Sorry that I get a bit cynical. The problem is that I think people defend ideas here that they do not use in their daily lives, and do not even want to use in their daily lives. I call this the 'philosophical disease': defending ideas theoretically, but living according completely different ideas, i.e. adhere to them practically.

All my early school reports were basically my teachers complaining about my autonomy. It drove them nuts that I would never participate with others and do what I felt was correct. They wanted me to be a zombie and make bad decisions like the rest when my own nature is to be autonomous. To basically have an aversion to the conditioning. I still live like this.

I get the gist of what you're saying in the second paragraph. Talk is cheap.

What do you think about free will?

Free will

 

It seems only an autonomous person has the ability of free will. The ability to not be conditioned by those around oneself.

The same reason why scientists and/or original thinkers are born and can't ever be made.
